Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl is a cool little freeware title adapted from a
Doom total conversion. Nice comic-book graphic style, and an unusual focus on makeshift melee weapons.
Less obscure, but I also really liked
Project: Snowblind. It began life as a Deus Ex spin-off, only to lose the license during development, but the influence of that world really shows. The game is pretty much a stock "cinematic FPS", though your character gets periodic upgrades in the form of special powers, and it's also at least slightly less linear than a lot of other games of that style. Very short (to the point where I was surprised and confused that the game had just ended), but a pretty fun ride nonetheless.
No kidding.
